Can ONLY connect wireless by using wire & EasyLink Advisor first - help!

Hello,
Installed a new WRT54GS for a friend's business. I've tried several laptops, and always get the same result: I can see and connect to the WLAN's SSID just fine after providing the WEP key. However, it times out trying to get an IP address from the router. I can manually enter an IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS server that I know are valid, and it still won't connect. (Example: 192.168.1.105; 255.255.255.0; 192.168.1.1; 192.168.2.1) Still get zero packets received. Now, if I connect the laptop to the router and run EasyLink Advisor, it will get settings from the router, and eventually connect to the WLAN just fine. The laptop will then stay connected just fine until a reboot. After a reboot, I'm back where I started. I haven't changed many defaults at all on the router. It's set as a DHCP server, with a pool of 50 addresses beginning at 192.168.1.100.
Again, DHCP fails unless I first use a wire and EasyLink Advisor. Any ideas how to resolve this so I don't have to go through this process each time?

Thanks for the reply. I can't get back to the machine for a couple days. I assume you mean disable the firewall on the laptops I'm trying to connect, right? 3 different laptops all failed to connect, and I'm sure they don't all have AVG. (I'm not sure any of them do.) I have Symantec Corporate AV on mine, and I connect to several other WLANs without a problem.

WRT54G:can I connect 2 computers using different cables ?first computer

using straight cable and the second computer using crossover cable
thank you for your help
noam

I already have 2 PCs connected with straight cable and 1 PC using crossover and it works. I'm interested to know if someone thinks this can create problems.

My X61 can't connect wireless when i use battery!!!

TYPE NO.: 7673-AN6
i confused why it can not connect wireless when i use battery?!
the problem drive me crazy nearly, it means i must take adapter every time
i help every one can help me!
cheers,

Most of the functionality and problems are in the drivers. The hardware tends to be discrete testable functions though these days there is a fair bit of functionality in the hardware. The hardware tends to be implementing better defined protocols where as the to and fro of the higher level protocols tend to be what varies from Access Point to Access Point. The 4965AGN is a fairly recent chip set and the drivers are far from smoothly running.
The problems can vary from AP to AP so may work at home but not at work etc. Some have reported here that the 4965AGN setup doesn't work with the Cisco 1200 Access Point and I have yet to be able to get it to work under Vista with the equipment at any New York Starbucks. T-mobile do use Cisco equipment but I don't know which models.
Anything you can do to simplify the situation helps. Maximum power. No security. Disable IPv6 on the connection etc. Just to give a rough idea of the kind of thing that might be wrong here are some of the things listed as known issues or fixed according to the readme of the driver (Originating from Intel) that was released for the 4965AGN on 4/11/08.
There are several authentication issues with EAP, PEAP and LEAP which will cause it not to authenticate. There are also Vista EAP issues and some things which may resolve with SP1 which was pushed out on update last week. So there are many comnbinations of situations which may not work and it is important to test with different access points. Authentication and security has more issues. Also at the higher speeds such as 54Mb some of the security mechanisms will not be able to keep up. AES is the only mechanism which Intel expects to work at 54Mb.
http://downloadmirror.intel.com/15806/ENG/relnotes.htm
There have also been past issues where the cards are silenced for twenty minutes after a failure to authenticate and in many cases the card will not be in a valid state after hibernation. It is noticable that when you phone T-mobile the first thing the tech has you do is completely shut the machine down - not hibernate - and begin afresh.
Once you have uninstalled and re-installed the drivers and connection manager a few times it is also possible to be having problems with junk left in the registry.
I don't recommend adding the 4965 drivers directly from the Intel site. I would wait for the one that has come through the Lenovo testing cycle.
In reality for those who don't want to make maintaining their laptop a serious hobby (Hopefully all of us - Far too much time is wasted on wireless) it is really a matter of rebooting your machine at a given access point. Trying your luck and then shutting it down and going somewhere else if it doesn't work. Use wires when you can. At home if your access point doesn't work check your configuratiions, temporarily remove all security, restore factory settings on the AP, reinstall from scratch and if it still doesn't work replace it with a different brand of Access Point.
Of course it is intended to just work and for 95+% of situations Wi-Fi does. The 4965AGN is newer so it has its fair share of early life issues to get resolved. Vista also still has issues. If the problem you are seeing is only when you are on batteries you are lucky and LANOgre's instructions may well solve it.

I set up time capsule and now can't connect wirelessly

I got home with my new Apple and Time Capsule last Friday and was unable to connect to the net. I called Cox cable and they came out and got me up and running. The yellow light on the Tine Capsule kept blinking but I was able to connect and thought it was just a glitch.
Today I added a printer and, after a few headaches, got it up and running. Then I tried to set up the automatic backup process and thought I was OK. Now, however I can't connect wirelessly at all. I keep getting the message "None of your preferred networks are available." I have a neighbor with a wireless network and it sees that, so something is going on. I also am able to connect directly to my modem and get connected. The yellow light is still blinking!
I have tried re-starting the computer, turning off both the modem and Time Capsule, but nothing works. I am beginning to think I have a defective Time Capsule but the store I got it from is two hours away, so if anyone can offer a suggestion, I would be most grateful.

I just went through the same deal. I'm not exactly sure how I did it, but I eventually got it to work, and even have Back to My Mac in play. For the next ten minutes, anyway.
So here's the deal. These are some of the things I did that you might try.
First, there is a big issue regarding how you presently connect to the internet - DSL modem? Cable modem? A dixie cup and a piece of thread? Time Capsule is both a router and a wireless base station, so whatver you're using now might be performing router duty as well, and screwing things up. I replaced my AT&T 2Wire device (modem, router, and wireless base station in one box) with a DSL modem. Oh, and when I was prompted, I assigned the public IP address for my broadband connection (the one that begins with 70.xxx.xxx.xxx) to the TIme Capsule, instead of having Time Capsule get one of those 192.xxx.x.xxx or 10.x.x.x IP addresses from DHCP.
The modem has to operate in "bridge mode." Whatever the heck that means.
Also, in configuring time capsule, I initially used an ethernet cable attached to a computer (in this case, my MacBook Pro). It seemed easier to get it going that way, and once it had managed to connect, it made it easier to get on just using the wireless connection.
When you're prompted, you want to create a new network, although it might be helpful to take it one step at a time and keep your present network up and running and let Time Capsule join that deploying - initially - just the wireless backup capability.
Oh, and regarding restarting all the hardware, I did that too. But with Time Capsule, if you're not already doing it, you should not just restart the device, but do a reset. On the back of the device if you look carefully toward the right you will see a little pinhole. Get a paper clip and depress the little button inside that little pinhole until the front light begins to blink rapidly. That resets Time Capsule and was the only way I could get the thing to bite at the beginning.
So much for Mac's just working. Although once they do . . . .

Can't connect wirelessly to router

I got a new laptop and a new router wrt160n v3 everything was going fine, my connection wirelessly was laggy but that was okay. One day by mistake i set myself as an "intruder" on my router and deleted myself off the map. I tried everything, putting the cd and reset the settings but no matter how hard i can't connect wirelessly to my router anymore. Now i have to stick a wire to my router and sit beside my computer. also when i do connect to it, it says that i cant or something. I need help asap !
question : how can i connect wirelessly back to my router

This is certainly an unusual problem, but from your description, I would have to assume that the router memorized the MAC address of your wireless adapter, and won't let you reconnect.
The best solution would be to download and install (or re-install) the lastest firmware for your router, then reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it --- you must setup the router from scratch.
Alternatively, you might be able to change the MAC address of your wireless adapter. The downside of this solution is that if you ever re-install your computer, you will need to remember to change the wireless adapter's MAC address again.

Can only connect to HTTPS (secure) sites and can't connect to HTTP sites

In short I CAN ONLY connect to HTTPS sites, meaning secure.
I've narrowed this down to an issue regrading my mac book pro and the wireless router.
Router:
- not sure of the make model
- other computers CAN connect to this router and go online
My Mac:
- Mac Book Pro
- OS X 10.6
- I can connect to other wireless networks just fine
- I can surf the web for about 10 minutes or so then it blocks ALL http traffic
and i'm only allowed to https sites
going to a http site results in a "page is taking to long to respond"
please anything?

The router is a Verizon MI424WR
hope that helps, but i doubt it will...
just to also clairfy http sites either go really slow then time out only never to come back, https are blazing fast

Can only connect to Internet from one computer at a time on network

I have a 2 computer network in my office networked with an Asante 10/100 hub. The computers are a iMac 24 (Intel) and an old G4 (PCI). The network has worked fine until just recently. Now, I can only connect to the Internet with one computer at a time...(DSL connection). I checked cables, ports, etc, and I'm wondering if this is a 10.4.9 issue. Coincidentally, I noticed that I am not able to access the Internet via Win XP using Parallels which also worked fine up until recently. I checked with the ISP (AT&T) who confirmed that all is OK on their end. Anyone have similar problem? Could OS X 10.4.9 be the culprit? Any help on this will be much appreciated. Thanks.
iMac 24 Mac OS X (10.4.9) 2G RAM; NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT 256

I'd consider that a 3 computer network, Parallels being a virtual machine would alias the ethernet interface and need its own IP address. That may or may not have anything to do with your problem. Actually, the way you've described things, it sounds like a lot has to do with your contract with ATT. Is there a routing device at your end?
The only way 10.4.9 could be the culprit would be if it were the routing device.

Can only connect one user at a time via VPN?

Hi, long-term Mac user but new to OS X Server. Dug thru the forums quite a bit but couldn't find an answer to this one - hopefully I wasn't searching with the wrong keywords.
Installed OS X Server 10.6 on a MacBook (white, 1 generation back) at the office. Sits behind an Airport Extreme, which is connected to Comcast. Other machines at the office are NOT routed through the Server, but rather connect directly to the Airport Extreme for internet access. I've set up server.mydomainname.com to point to our Comcast address, and I am able to connect via VPN to the server without any problems, and access the server using the server.mydomainname.com address which I pointed to my Comcast IP address, as long as I check "Send all traffic over VPN connection" on my client.
However, when I'm logged in via VPN on one computer, and then log in via VPN on another computer (with the same UID or a different one), the first one loses all connectivity through the VPN - it's as if it had been logged off.
In Server Admin, under the Settings|Network tabs, I have Computer Name set up as "theserver", and Local Hostname as "theserver" (so I can access via theserver.private). VPN is set up to enable L2TP over IPsec, sharing ranges 10.0.1.200 thru 10.0.1.220; no load balancing, no PPTP. Client DNS servers is set to 10.0.1.29.
Any ideas as to why I can only connect with one client at a time?

Thanks. I didn't see anything interesting, but then again I'm not up on VPN details. Here's the scenario:
First, I logged in as "user1", and I can use the VPN.
Then, I logged in as "user2", and I can use the VPN with user2, but user1 is no longer able to do anything over the VPN.
Then I hung up with user2, but user1 still can't see anything over the VPN.
Then I hung up and reconnected with user1, and user1 can use the VPN again.
Here's part of the log for this activity. I've replaced potentially identifying info with "XYZ" for safety. Appreciate any thoughts on this!

WRT45G: can only connect one pc at the time to internet, cannot login to router setup

Hello,
I don't get this. The complete network worked fine for ... years? After a call with the ISP about a general/different issue, we can now only connect one pc at the time to internet. (We were asked to take out cables and we've put them back).
I've been trying and searching for an answer for hours.
problem:
We can only connect through the router to internet with only one pc at the time (the first pc we connect after starting up the router).
Also we cannot get into the setup menu of the router at 192.168.1.1
We've been trying to reset the modem for 10, 30 seconds.
Auto resolve IP/DNS. DHCP is enabled.
I also remembered that I pushed the SES button, it turned from orange to flashing bluish. I never knew aboutthis function, nor it is mentioned in the manual I downloaded. Now this SES indicator is off.
Also WLAN and DMZ led are off.
I downloaded EasyLink_Connect.exe, went through the setup. It recognises there's internet connection, but stops and says: cisco does not support this modem.
Temp. replacing this WRT45G modem with another one did not resolve the issue.
I have no clue what went wrong, what we did wrong, and how we can resolve this issue? Please help! Thanks

2. I do have another router, when I try that one, the problem we have remains. So that's a bit strange to me. That one is supposed to be working.
Does this SES function configure anything other than the modem? So, does it alter PC configurations? I have no clue. We even start to wonder whether the ISP is able to set up their internet in a way that unables us to make use of a router? That would be ridiculous

Can't connect wirelessly HP Photosmart C4780 to MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.

Hi!
Didn't know exactly where to direct this question in the Apple Community so I chose Airport. To everyone, thanks in advance.
I’m really desperate. I’m a big Apple fan. I have two Apple MacBook Pro laptops with Mountain Lion software. I also have an Apple Airport Extreme. My HP Photosmart C4780 printer was also purchased from Apple. Anyway, my Internet service is AT&T. AT&T just upgraded my service with a new modem/router (AT&T U-Verse). Prior to the conversion, my wireless printer connection was working perfectly.
Now can’t print wirelessly. For your information, everything is connected via Wi-Fi. The AT&T technician stated that I no longer needed my Apple Airport Extreme, so it was removed. Naturally, after the tech leaves, we find out the HP printer wirelessly no longer works. Thinking that removing Airport Extreme may have been the problem, I reconnected it to the AT&T modem/router, however no change.
This appears to be an HP printer problem. I went to HP community support with the information below but I have received no solutions outside of buying a new printer.
“Ran the HP wireless network test report and it states that HP printer can’t find wireless router and to verify that the HP printer network name (SSID) matches the wireless router network name (SSID) exactly. The Diagnostic Summary in brief: Wireless On & Working & Security – Pass; Network Name (SSID) Found – Fail. Nothing else under diagnostic summary ran. Under Configuration Summary: It shows old SSID name and Mac Hardware Address but no IP Address.
Next ran the Network Configuration Page and everything is enabled except the 802.11 Wireless. It shows status – disconnected. Under general information it states the following: Network status - Offline; Active Connection Type - None; URL(s) for Embedded Web Server – http://0.0.0.0.”
To be straightforward, I’m no computer tech so I don’t know what this means or where to find. The AT&T tech provided me the new SSID Name and a wireless key number but that’s it. Also I uninstalled and reinstalled via USB. The HP message states can’t find router. At this point, I’ve tried everything to reconfigure without success. If I need to make these changes via Airport Extreme Utility 6.0 not easy to find not that I know what I’m doing.
Most importantly if I ever get wireless working again, do I still need Airport Extreme connection or is the AT&T U-Verse modem/router sufficient?
Any direction or help is greatly appreciated. Thank you for listening.

Thank you for your prompt response. I'll be honest I'm a retiree and a newbie to all of this stuff. I don't even know how to do a thread. (Embarassing) This is my first ever contact with the Apple Community so I'm slowly trying to figure this out as well.
As to your thread request, I'm assuming you want to read my post with HP. Not knowing how to thread, I've copied it below.

Re: Can't connect wirelessly HP Photosmart C4780 to MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.
I finally figured it out! (Sorry that I'm replying to my own posts btw, but I want to post the solution for anybody else with the SigmaplusEOL1 problem). If you have the SigmaplusEOL1 as your SSID when you print the "Wireless Network Test Report", you do NOT need to return it (I know that's hassle for people). To fix the problem, follow these steps.
1) Unplug your printer.
2) Go to your router's IP address (like 192.168.1.1 or whatever it is for your router).
3) Change the SSID of your wirelss network to "SigmaplusEOL1".
4) For the Security option for your wireless network select none (so that a password is not required to access your wireless network).
5) Power your printer back on and reprint "Wireless Network Test Repor". It should say "No problem found..."
6) The report should also have a the IP Address of the printer (under Configuration Summary at the bottom). Type that IP Address in your browser to get to the printer's settings page.
7) Click the "Network" Tab at the top.
8) Under the "Connections" header in the left pane, click "Wireless (802.11).
9) Click "Start Wizard" at the bottom right.
10) In the wizard, change the SSID and encryption (wep or wpsk) password to whatever you want your wireless network to be. So probably whatever it started out as before you changed the SSID to SigmaplusEOL1
11) Click "Finish" at the end. The page will probably try to keep loading but it won't because you changed the network settings of the printer. Just ignore that
12) Go back to your router's IP address and change the SSID and encryption password to whatever you changed the printer's SSID and password to.
13). Reprint the Wireless Network Test Report. It should say the SSID is the same as your wireless, and everything is good.
That's it. You should be good to go now.
Re: Can't connect wirelessly HP Photosmart C4780 to MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.
Thank you for your prompt response. This has been a totally frustrating experience. I’ve spent at least 8 hours trying to fix this. My HP problems and your initial steps were identical to mine. I am by no means a tech person and my computer tech knowledge is minimal. However I followed your steps to the best of my ability.
I did get the SigmaplusEOL1 message. I was able to get to Step 6 where the wireless network test report now reads – “HP printer settings do not match your wireless router settings.” So I guess this is a step in the right direction. However unfortunately the Configuration summary message for the IP Address reads – “Not Applicable”. (Note: changing SigmaplusEOL1 to network name knocked out my Internet access. Had to switch back to regular network name to regain access.)
I’m at a loss as to what to do next.   Without the IP Address is it possible to move forward? As I stated earlier, I’m not a tech person. As to your steps 7, 8 and 9, I can’t find them on my computer or maybe I’m looking in the wrong places. In System Preferences - Network, I have none of these steps. If you’re referring to Airport Utility, with the changes in Mountain Lion, these steps are no longer there. If you’re talking about Safari, Firefox or HP, now I’m really lost.
Finally, I don’t know if you can answer this or not. If I ever get wireless working, do I still need Airport Extreme or is the AT&T U-Verse modem/router sufficient?
Again thank you for your time and patience.
Re: Can't connect wirelessly HP Photosmart C4780 to MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.
Unfortunately I am unable to offer any further advice as I only followed the instructions listed on the other page.
Finally, as to having WEP enabled, I don't know. Don't even know where to look. The best that I could determine is that my security is WPA/WPA2 Personal.
I'm truly sorry about all of this. Thank you for your time and patience. After reading all of this and you change your mind, I would understand.

Can only connect from one direction

I'm having trouble video confrencing... I tried searching the forums, but I'm having trouble thinking of clever search terms.
I can only connect from one direction with one person. They can invite me to a chat and it works fine every time. However when I invite them it always fails. I can invite other people and it works fine though.
This doesn't seem like a typical router problem, because they can invite me and we videochat just fine.
This has been a problem for most versions of iChat that I can remember, but I'm using 3.1.5 currently.

Hi
Is the other person a PC user.

New problem - can only connect w/o security

have a wireless router and had no problem getting my macbook to connect. added a desktop and can only connect if i disable the password feature. my question is twofold:
1. why will it not connect when I have to supply a password (the password is correct)
2. if I cannot resolve issue 1, then can I diable SSID broadcast but still not require a password?

Try to include a dollar sign before your password

I have a ipad2 and can only connect to the internet on safari but not any WiFi related apps such as YouTube or Facebook. plz help.

i have a ipad2 and can only connect to the internet on safari but not any WiFi related apps such as YouTube or Facebook. plz help.

Try changing the channel in use in case you're getting interference.
If you have WEP enabled on the Internet Sharing it'ss worth disabling it whilst troubleshooting the connectivity issues.

Can't connect to server using hostname

I have an Apache server running on my MacBook Pro and am able to connect to it's website using localhost just fine. I have 3 clients on the internal LAN that I am testing connection with: 2 MacBook Pros and 1 iPhone. The iPhone and one of the other computers can connect to the server's website using the hostname i.e. http://hostname/ however the last MBPro cannot connect with hostname. It can only connect using ip address. Any suggestions on what's why the last computer can't resolve the hostname?
I'm using safari as my browser and all 3 MBPros are running 10.6.7.

When you say hostname, do you mean hostname.local? or is it a FQDNS?
if your talking about a local host name did you try adding the .local to the end?
If it's FQDNS:
Have you tried Resetting the DNS cache? You can do so by opening terminal in utilites and typing "sudo dscacheutil -flushcache"
If that doesn't fix the issue, have you checked to make sure the DNS on the effected computer is the same as the other computers?

Can ONLY connect wireless by using wire & EasyLink Advisor first - help!
